1973 Map of Huntoon

About this map

Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad tracks slice across the High Plains of the Texas Panhandle in this 1970s survey, connecting the small siding settlements of Twichell and Huntoon. This landscape is defined by the extraction economy of Ochiltree County, where a dense network of Oil Wells and underground Pipelines underscores the region's industrial character. The terrain is relatively level, interrupted only by the seasonal drainage of Kiowa Creek and the South Fork Clear Cr near the border with Beaver County, Oklahoma. The map also documents the Perryton Municipal Airport on the western edge, serving as a critical transportation hub for this remote ranching and energy corridor. Small family or railway landmarks like Morris provide specific points of interest for genealogists tracing the 20th-century development of these rural Texas communities.
